Howto: Install Mustek 1200 UB Plus scanner on Ubuntu 11.10

I’ve been using my old Mustek 1200 UB Plus scanner since Ubuntu 8.10 and it serves me well through each version of Ubuntu, for my needs anyway. The only problem I have with this device is installation after upgrading OS (I prefer clean install). It is so simple to forget and I’ve decided to write a little script, so I don’t need to search the web every time. And someone even might find it useful.

Intstallation/Setup

To install sane and make directory, type in Terminal:

sudo apt-get install sane
sudo mkdir /usr/share/sane/gt68xx

Plug in your scanner.

Copy and paste the script content in any text editor and save it to Home folder as mustek1200UB.sh

My guess is that you are not in the correct directory or your script in not named “mustek1200UB.sh”.
Make sure that you navigate to the directory where you saved the script…if it’s home directory type in terminal: “cd /home/username” (replace “username” with yours) and than execute the command…
also make sure that the script is named “mustek1200UB.sh”
If this doesn’t help tell me witch distro are u using….
